In this chapter, you will learn how to tell the time in Vietnamese. For that it is important to know the numbers already. If you haven't done that yet, go back to numbers in Vietnamese. We will provide you with clear examples on how to tell the time in different ways. If you'll have finished this part, you can try out our free exercises to test your knowledge!
In this table we will provide you with different expressions on how to ask someone for the time.
English | Vietnamese |
---|---|
What's the time now? | Bây giờ là mấy giờ? |
What time is it? | Mấy giờ rồi? |
Would you please tell me... | Làm ơn cho hỏi |

In order to tell the time, you use 'giờ', which stands for o'clock.
English | Vietnamese |
---|---|
It's four o'clock. | Bây giờ là bốn giờ. |
It's five o'clock. | Bây giờ là năm giờ. |
It's six o'clock. | Bây giờ là sáu giờ. |
To tell the half hours, you use 'rưỡi' (half) after the full hours.
English | Vietnamese |
---|---|
It's half past two. | Hai giờ rưỡi. |
It's half past eight. | Tám giờ rưỡi. |
It's half past nine. | Chín giờ rưỡi. |
To tell the time after the hour from 31 minutes, you use 'kém', which means 'to'. When you refer to the minutes before 30 (1-29), the minutes are added with 'phút' without a linking word. However, 'phút' can also be left out but is added when sentences are rather short.
English | Vietnamese |
---|---|
It's quarter (15 minutes) past one. | Một giờ mười lăm. |
It's ten to two. | Hai giờ kém mười phút. |
It's twenty to three. | Ba giờ kém hai mươi. |
As the Vietnamese also use a 12 hour system, it is important to note how they refer to the specific time of the day (am/pm). They use 'sáng' for morning, 'trưa' for afternoon, 'chiều' for evening and 'tối'/đêm' for night.
English | Vietnamese |
---|---|
6 am | sáu giờ sáng |
12 pm | mười hai giờ trưa |
3 pm | ba giờ chiều |
12 am | mười hai giờ tối/đêm |
After this chapter you will know how to tell the full hours, the half hours and the specific minutes. Moreover, you'll be able to refer to the right time of the day and ask for the time. As usual, we've attached a Video for you to show it all more clearly. To further test your skills, try out our free exercises! :)

Hi everybody, my name is Tra My, I have been living in Barcelona for 5 years. I speak Spanish, English, Vietnamese, a little Portuguese and Chinese. I have 4-year experience of teaching Vietnamese language to foreigners. However, I think language is not enough. If you would like to travel, study, work, live in Vietnam, or just look for a Vietnamese partner, you need to know more about Vietnamese culture. Additionally, I was working as a lawyer in Vietnam, so I can advise you on how to start a business in Vietnam and obtain residency permits. We will talk together about it in my classes. I will accompany you from knowing nothing about Vietnam until you can negotiate the price with the Vietnamese people :) I look forward to seeing you in my classes!

Hello, everybody ! My name is Elena. I’m a native Italian speaker, I’m 49 years old and live in Turin. I am a certified CEDILS teacher, I graduated in Foreign Languages and Literature in Milan and have been working as a teacher of Italian for more than 10 years. I speak English and German. I attended specialization courses for Italian L2 teachers and I am interviewer for C1 PLIDA exam.
Are you seeking a friendly and dynamic study environment ? I got what you need. I am looking forward to being in touch with new students and organize pleasant, interesting and fruitful courses.
Do you wish to learn or improve your Italian to speak with your parents or friends? Do you need Italian for work or study ? Do you simply love Italian language and culture ? Do you need to improve your writing skills ?
My classes are tailored on your needs and considering your level of knowledge, I create a proper course plan. Classes focus on language and on the possibility for you to improve your ability to speak and understand Italian in your daily life or in work.
I offer 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 tuition, general Italian courses (grammar, conversation, listening, reading and writing), preparation to Italian examinations (all levels, also Italian for residence permit) and Italian and culture courses.
Grammar, vocabulary exercises, reading articles and magazines and talking together are all tools to feel at ease with the Italian language and then be able to practice it.
I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for all levels of Italian, from beginner to advanced. I have experience in preparing students to international certification (CILS, PLIDA). I was an A2/B1 Telc examiner.
Learning Italian can be closely related to culture, literature, music, sport and any other interest of my students.

Привіт! Мене звати Олександра, та друзі й рідні кличуть мене Саша.
Я - українка, народилась в Україні й проживаю тут усе своє життя. Крім того, я - магістр української філології, дипломована вчителька української мови та літератури.
Тому я прийшла на colanguage, щоб передати любов до своєї рідної мови якомога більшій кількості людей. Хочете вивчити українську? Або ж просто спробувати, а що як сподобається? Чи просто підтримати мій народ та культуру у цей важкий період російської агресії? Я тут, щоб вам допомогти!
Нас намагаються стерти з лиця землі, та ми незламні. Допоки наша мова існуватиме, допоки її будуть вивчати ... ми будемо! Бо в серці маєм те, що не вмирає..
Hey, my name is Oleksandra, but friends and family calls me by short name Sasha.
In 2020, I've obtained a Master's degree in Philology, diploma & additional certificate which says I can teach Ukrainian Language & Literature, as well as English both for children and adults.
My experience in educational field is 5 years:
-a teacher-trainee of in a public school (2 years);
-a tutor for teens and adults (3 years);
I provide lessons according to your wishes. If you need more grammar - we'll focus and work on it. If you want to develop your speaking skills - no problem. My rule is an individual approach to every student.
Hope weʼll become good friends and have a lot of fun on our lessons!
Looking forward to see you on my first free trial lesson!

I asked Sasha to help me start speaking Ukrainian, after having studied the language for some time on my own. I was very happy with our first two lessons and am looking forward to the next one. Sasha speaks very clearly. When I do not understand, she translates into English and sends me the Ukrainian words via the chat function. She helps me to start saying some phrases myself, and we talk about the grammar behind those phrases. Great lessons!
Sasha M.Thank you so much, Asja! Happy to help you with mastering Ukrainian.
